  • Alan M. Garber, Provost of Harvard University
    Harvard School of Public Health | Alan M. Garber, Provost of Harvard University BETTY Good afternoon, and welcome to the Voices in Leadership series. This program focuses on the nexus of science JOHNSON: and leadership to create positive change in the world of public health. I am Betty Johnson, and I have the privilege to direct and introduce this program. Our guest today could be called a Renaissance man of academia. When he was a university freshman, he said, and I quote, "I was a reluctant and ambivalent pre-med student. But after being exposed to an economics course, I switched my major to a concentration from biochemistry to economics," end quote. This switch in plan ultimately led to a PhD in economics from Harvard, while at the same time he was earning an MD degree from Stanford. Today, Dr. Alan Garber's career combines both interests. And it is no surprise that this combination of a love for science and economics eventually landed him a role as university provost. But not as any university provost, our university provost. In a political climate in Washington, DC, where robust research funded is under threat, Dr. Alan Garber is perfectly suited to lead Harvard's efforts to ensure the research pipeline remains strong. His intellectual interests are far reaching. At Stanford, he was a fellow in both the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. He also served as director for Stanford Center for Health Policy and Center for Primary Care and Outcomes Research at Stanford School of Medicine.

  • A Home for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Harvard
    A Home for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Harvard Welcome. The Harvard Innovation Labs are a vibrant, cross-disciplinary ecosystem for the Harvard community to explore innovation and entrepreneurship while building deeper connections. The Labs are an excellent example of the One Harvard vision and a leading catalyst for the Allston Science and Enterprise District. The Harvard Innovation Labs began in 2011 with the opening of the i-lab, expanded in 2014 when the Launch Lab opened its doors, and will continue to grow in both breadth and depth with future resources, including a Wet Lab which comes online in 2016 (projected). The Harvard i-lab The i-lab is the central component of the Harvard Innovation Labs ecosystem. It is an educational collaborative for all current Harvard students from any Harvard school to explore innovation and entrepreneurship at any stage. It provides open co- working space, a vibrant community of peer and mentor support, experiential programming, and a 12-week Venture Incubation Program helping student teams take their ideas as far as they can go. The Harvard Launch Lab The Launch Lab is a critical extension of the growing Harvard Innovation Labs ecosystem. It provides eligible Harvard alumni leading high-potential early- stage startups with a curated community including collaborative co-working space, business building programming, and access to i-lab advisors and mentors. It fosters continued connection between alumni, current students and the Harvard community as a whole. Moving Further, Faster There has never been a better time to be a part of innovation at Harvard. The Harvard Innovation Labs have an unprecedented opportunity to continue to shape cross-disciplinary collaboration at Harvard and serve as a catalyst to solving society’s most pressing needs through innovation and entrepreneurship.
